For more up-to-date configuration examples, including ML2/LinuxBridge/VXLAN, try taking a look at the new networking guides on docs.openstack.org <http://docs.openstack.org/>:

LinuxBridge: http://docs.openstack.org/networking-guide/deploy_scenario1b.html <http://docs.openstack.org/networking-guide/deploy_scenario1b.html>

I think several options in /etc/nova/nova.conf, /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini and /etc/neutron/neutron.conf should be modifed properly in order to use LinuxBridge instead of OVS.

>> core_plugin = ml2 (I think this should be modified but I don't know what parameter indicates Linux Bridge Agent Plugin)
>> 
>> 2. /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini on controller
>> Do I still need to modify this file? I'm confused, because the file name is 'ml2', which is for ml2 plugin not for 'linux bridge'... And, I wonder the lists should be modified.
